Stay up to date on all NHL injury news and roster updates with daily Ice Chips.


Toronto Maple Leaves

Auston Matthews was not on the ice during the team’s optional skate before the game against the Detroit Red Wings on Friday.

Matthews missed Tuesday’s 4-0 win over the Boston Bruins and was considered questionable for the team’s games against the Red Wings on Friday and the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday.

The 27-year-old has five goals and 11 points in 13 games this season.

Additionally, Anthony Stolarz is expected to start against the Red Wings on Friday.

The 30-year-old goaltender is coming off a 29-save performance against the Bruins on Tuesday.

Stolarz has a 5-2-2 record this season with a 2.12 goals-against average and a .928 save percentage.


The Red Wings called up the goalkeeper Ville Husso of the AHL’s Grand Rapids Griffins on Friday under emergency conditions.

Head coach Derek Lalonde told reporters on Thursday that everyone should be available for the game against the Toronto Maple Leaves Friday, but there has been a flu bug in the Red Wings locker room, according to Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press.

Husso has a 2-0-1 record with the Griffins after he cleared waivers and was waived on October 14.

The 6-foot-3 goaltender only appeared in one game with the Red Wings this season, a 6-3 loss to Pittsburgh Penguins on October 10 where he allowed four goals and 14 shots.


The Avalanche assigned forwards TJ Tynan and Nikita Prishchepov to the AHL’s Colorado Eagles on Friday.

Tyanan appeared in four games with the Avalanche this season, averaging 8:24 of ice time.

Prishchepov has appeared in three NHL games this season and has a +1 rating with an average of 9:15 of ice time.
